The Christmas season passes so quickly, but
honestly, Christmas is a day to remind us of the ultimate gift. That Jesus
could love ME (yes, and you) so much to be willing to give His life for us. (I
am so unworthy.) But I have accepted His gift, and I can only pray that I can
bring that gift to others!
I
have just begun to realize that God is calling me to be a blessing (possibly
calling all of us, but I can’t speak for anyone else). I recently went to a
Women of Faith conference and walked away after shedding more tears than I even
knew I could shed. At first I thought it
was chastisement, but by the end of the second day I realized that it was His
Spirit filling that place that brought me to that point. So, I am learning to
let God work through me, work in me. I am learning to be a blessing, not look
for the blessing. Will you be a blessing to someone in this season of giving?
I wish I had a current story to share, although
A Piece of Heaven is coming, I have
no release date yet. I’m hoping for January. Watch for it!
Here’s what it’s all about:
Trina Wembly
dreamt of owning a Christian coffee house for years –a Godly place where people
could enjoy a good meal, and entertainment that was pleasing to God. A Piece
of Heaven is that dream, and Trina the star entertainer.
Jared Larou, the
construction foreman who helps design and build the coffee house, is a wounded
soul with a soft heart, a soft heart that Trina is drawn to.
Trina knows God
is the only one who can heal Jared’s wounded soul. Does she have the faith and
patience to wait on God’s will – if it is God’s will?
Care for a peek? Here you go!
For
what seemed like the hundredth time—and maybe it was, Trina stepped into the
waiting area of Dared Construction. After months of meetings and hours spent
going over drawings and making changes, it looked like things might finally get
moving...she hoped.
Pingree,
Maryland wasn’t a very large town, but their building codes seemed nearly
impossible to decipher.
She
wiped damp palms down her skirt.
Lord,
please let this be good news and not another roadblock.
“Trina,
so good to see you.” Jared said as he and Dave both stepped into the waiting
area. Jared extended his hand first and
Dave nodded his greeting.
“Nice
to finally meet you in person,” Dave said as he held out his hand. “I’m looking
forward to getting this project off the ground, not to mention having a place
we can go to relax once you open.”
Trina
sighed. “I’m praying that will happen soon, too.”
Dave
squeezed her hand one more time then headed toward the door. “I wish I could
stay and chat, but I have to get to a meeting at another site. I’ll see you
soon, I’m sure.”
Trina
watched him leave then turned back to Jared as he pushed the cuffs of his dress
shirt up to his elbows as usual, showing
off well muscled forearms. He looked every inch the businessman whenever she
saw him in the office. What would he look like on the job site? His movements
were fluid, like a dancer or a gymnast. Near six feet tall, with those broad
shoulders, Trina felt herself staring.
She
smiled and cleared her throat as she searched his face for a clue as to why he
had called her in today. “So, good news, I hope?”
Jared’s
gray eyes twinkled. “Come on back to my office. We can talk there. I have
something to show you.”
“Said
the spider to the fly,” she whispered to herself.
